| (a) House Bill 2190, 88th Legislature, 2023 (HB 2190)
replaced the term "accident" with "collision" in Insurance Code §1952.155,
concerning Benefits Payable Without Regard to Fault or Collateral
Source; Effect on Subrogation, and §1954.056(b), concerning Financial
Responsibility. However, the transition provision in Section 142 of
HB 2190 states that these changes to the law are nonsubstantive and
are intended to clarify rather than change existing law.
(b) Consistent with the transition provision in Section
142 of HB 2190, the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) interprets
the term "collision" when used in Insurance Code §1952.155 and §1954.056(b)
as having the same meaning that "accident" had before passage of HB
2190 and as having no impact on rules adopted pursuant to Insurance
Code §1952.155 and §1954.056(b) or forms filed for approval
with TDI under those Insurance Code sections and rules before HB 2190.
(c) Because the transition provision in Section 142
of HB 2190 says the changes are nonsubstantive, they do not impact
the rules in this subchapter.
